( (By William Dibble.) j "Next!" , 1 Tliis tonsorial call, shouted in the basement of the 9th Regiment Arm- ] ory by Sergt. Corrie, 22nd Engineers, } aroused a fat mail clerk with glasses, ] who stepped to the pistol range. He was a timid man, this clerk who was being taught to kill bandits, and hi9 pudgy fiingers trembled about the ] gun. He fired. He fired again and j again. Then the marker stepped for- , ward and examined the target. "Six misses!" 1 The clerk grew pale and rubbed |; his hands in agitation. "Now," said Sergt. Corrie, com- ; passionately and gently "you've got to do better than that. There's an ? order out that if you can't shoot by , April?" * ' . i "I know", said the clerk. "Well, take six more, and see if ; you can do better." j j So it goes, day after day. The pistols spout flame, the crashes of the guns ma^e loud the ranges, and mail -t clerks pass or don't pass and shoot again, first slow fire, six shots at twenty feet, then rapid fire, three ( shots, in a minute's time. And day 1 after day Sergt. Corrie, crack shot, i winner of a dozen prizes, cajoles, ] pets, advises young men and old, exarmy men with half a dozen children, men who have lived in mail offices all their lives and shudder at the feel of ; the pistol, bravos who know they can ; shoot and then nearly blow their feet off, dubs who look down the barrel, j to put these chunks of lead somewhere near the bull's-eye. It is a risky job, this teaching, but -* n ~ " ? ??on TTfi + Vlrtllt t>Br?T? UOrntJ 10 <x iiiau tt nuvuv nerves, and he has a kindness that no amount of stupidity can spoil. "Tell me, sergeant," I said one afternoon, when there were only a few candidates for heaven left, "tell me something about yourself." The sergeant is a modest man, oh, a very modest man, timid, you might say, 3 with a respect for officers that betrays long service in the regular army. I urged him to speak about a match in which Gen. Pershing and himself had contested. But Sergt. Corrie appeared abashed. He shuffled his feet, removed his glasses, and wiped them. 1 "It would be fresh," he murmured, ''to couple my name with a general officer of the United States." And he would not speak more about that match. So then I asked him to tell me about his prizes and about his id ReadyFIND HERE s, Skirts, W< r and Stylish Dresses in the past few days e, and you will find fn rnrrfep anrt spp fm VVU1V WW A king of Coats these cool e to come and look them showing a complete line Jhildren's Coats.

He hemmed a little, pushed back bis white hair from his ruddy, smooth forehead, considered. Then be, began: "I enlisted in the 17th infantry in 1897. Well, in September, 1881, I was at Fort Yates, S. D. That was a little time after the Custer massacre, md Sitting Bull and about three hundred of his men were at the "fort waiting to be taken to Fort Randall by a party under command of Capt. tittko /loir nomo fr>r ffittiner bnll i nunc, i uc uqj vuuw x...?0 to be,carried away, in a wood burn-; ing boat, up the river. . "Now, there were about ten thousand Sioux Indians on the other side of the river. They had heard of Sitting Bull's removal, and they were hanging around in the distance, hoping that maybe he would get away to them. "The boat came in sight and Sitting Bull and his men were let out and placed under guard close to the river bank. I was there, right near him. Well, sir, the boat gave a toot and let off a cloud of white smoke. That must have sounded bad to Sitting Bull. I guess he realized that his ast chance had come. So what did he do? Up goes his arm with the handcuffs on it and knocks the sentry's gun from his shoulder, and off goes Sitting Bull, running for a spot further down the river where his friends might make a stab at getting him away. Off he goes, hell for leather, through the officers' tents, and nobody dared to shoot him. But I was right behind all the way, about fifty yards back, and running to beat the band. On and on we go. I guess I never ran so fast before or after, and I began to gain on him. " 'Stop, Bull!' I yelled. I couldn't yell 'Sitting Bull', it took too much breath. 'Stop Bull', and I pulled my pistol out and took a crack at him. Missed. Bang ? I fired again, missed again, and then I gave him the whole works, four shots and missed him clean. But I was coming close to him, and now I put everything into my legs and gained ten yards on him. I was close to him and could have almost hit him with the empty gun. Then I gained a little, gave a devil of a jump and landed on his neck. Down he went and I began to load my gun. I would have finished him off right there if the interpreter hadn't come up just at the wrong minute and stopped me." to-Wear lists and Pie< , Over Blouses, Coat i, in addition to our < merchandise priced r yourself.

"Don't you know you shouldn't do that?" he said quietly, laying his hand on the pistol and pointing !?. down the range. "Never point a gun at a man whether it's loaded or not." Then he turned, smiling, to me. "You see?" WOMAN'S WORLD. Paragraphs of Especial Interest to i Feminine Readers. Stenographers in France earn an average of $50.00 per month.
